DESCRIPTION
Detailed information about our flagship walking tour in the Third Ward.TRANSCRIPT
Milwaukee’s history is surprising and
compelling. Unfortunately, the “just the
facts” approach too often strips it of its
distinctive
local flavor.
Viewing history
through the lens of
local folklore can
change the way you
look at Milwaukee,
evoking a fuller
appreciation of a truly intriguing past and
the colorful characters who inhabited it.
Milwaukee Ghosts celebrates local
folklore. Our research sources include
public records, archival newspaper
reports, and firsthand accounts. We have
collected so many stories, we can’t include
them all on every tour. We rotate tales
and frequently update our stories with
new information from ongoing
investigations. As a result, our tours are
different every time. (414) 807-7862
Milwaukee’s first ghost tour!
Third Ward Haunted History Tours
Celebrate Local
Folklore!
Milwaukee Ghosts’ mission is to
document hauntings in the Milwaukee
Metro area. As Milwaukee’s paranormal
clearinghouse, we’re here to serve our
community through data distribution and
collaboration. We strive to be the first on
the scene to collect reports from both
business and residential sources. We
compile those reports and maintain the
most comprehensive Milwaukee
hauntings database, from which we
supply data to paranormal investigators
to aid in their research.
Milwaukee Ghosts shares information
about public hauntings in articles, local
presentations, and our interactive
website map. We provide assistance to
business and residential sources
researching property history and honor
all requests for anonymity. When
clients require a scientific investigation or
a clearing of their property, we help them
find the best organization to meet their
needs.
Our Investigations
There's more to Milwaukee than brats
and beer. On our walking tours we tell
the forgotten tales of the people and
events that built this beautiful city. We
honor the struggle of all those that came
before us by
ensuring that
their stories
live on.
Join us for a
nostalgic stroll through this charming
arts district once known as the "Bloody
Third," Milwaukee’s roughest ghetto.
A Unique Experience
Haunted history tours are unlike
Halloween haunted houses. No rent-a-
ghouls have been hired to jump out and
startle you. Instead you’ll be walking in
the footsteps of the most interesting
characters from our past.
If you're captivated by local folklore,
into legend tripping, a student of
Milwaukee history, or just interested in
sparking your imagination with strange
tales about Milwaukee, this tour is for
you.
Explore the “Bloody 3”!
Our one mile, one-and-a half hour
walking tour introduces you to the
haunted history of Milwaukee's Third
Ward. You'll hear ghost stories, tales of
true crime, and surprising Fortean
folklore. A rest stop opportunity (for
drinks, snacks, and bathroom breaks) is
provided midway on the tour.
Tours run most Fridays & Saturdays
at 7 p.m. (or by special appointment)
May through November. The cost is
$10 per person (cash only). Tour content

St. and St. Paul Ave. in front of the
